- 3/4 cup soft bread crumbs
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- Filling1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, defrosted, well drained
- 1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
- 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

Press beef mixture over spinach filling at both ends to seal. Place seam side down on rack in open roasting pan.
- Bake in 350 oven 1 hour. Spread ketchup over loaf; return to oven and continue baking 15 minutes. Top loaf with 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle with additional Italian seasoning, if desired.
- To serve, cut into 1-inch thick slices.
Cook's Tip: To make soft bread crumbs, place torn bread slices in food processor, fitted with steel blade, or blender container. Cover; process 30 seconds, pulsing on and off, until fine crumbs. One and a half slices will yield 1 cup soft bread crumbs.
